Hello everyone,

I have a vintage Brother VTC TC221 cnc that has a parity (tool) error I cannot figure out.

This machine uses a "conversational" control that isnt very user friendly.

I can follow the directional prompts to create a basic program, but I am still inhibited by the machine to define the tools to use.

Other than the parity error, the machine will home out, run in MDI, and basically seems normal.

The machine holds 10 tools in the turret......but lists over 60 in the tool data page. The issue seems to be getting the tool page linked up to what tools are in the turret.

If anyone has an help or experience with these machine PLEASE post whatever you have.

Thanks a million!

Kevin
